Maria Ciesla: Jewish and Non-Jewish Spaces in Urban Context, Flexibler Einband

Klappentext

The unifying thread of the interdisciplinary volume "Jewish and Non-Jewish Spaces in Urban Context" is the fact that Jewish spaces are almost always generated in relation to non-Jewish spaces; they determine and influence each other.

This general phenomenon will be scrutinized and put to the test again and again in a varied collection of articles by international experienced researchers as well as junior scholars using various urban contexts and discourses as data. From the viewpoints of different temporal and regional research traditions and disciplines the contributors deal with the question of how Jewish and non-Jewish spaces are imagined, constructed, negotiated and intertwined. All examples and case studies together create a mosaic of possibilities for the construction of Jewish and non-Jewish spaces in different settings.
